     I rest my chin on Sweet Pea's shoulder as I stand behind him. Watching as he get's his ass beat on mortal combat. "I can't believe you guys don't even see it. Weatherbee is profiling us," Jughead groans, "Tellin' us what to wear. What's next? Brain implants controlling what we think?"

"Jughead, you sound like a crazy conspiracy nut," Toni says.

"She's right," I say, "you sound like a mental patient."

"A school closed down," Toni says.

"A crappy school," Sweet Pea chimes in as he hops over the other avatar.

"Yeah, and now we're at a better one," Toni says, "The computer lab and text books-"

"And toilets that flush," He chimes in again.

"Getting transferred to Riverdale High is the best thing that could have happened."

"Maybe ever."

"So, if I have to take off my jacket, 8:30 to 3:00, Monday through Friday Hey, I'm down with that," Toni says as Jughead scoffs.

"Plus you guys get to be with me," I say, "and I'd say thats a plus."

"Debatable," Sweet Pea says. 

"Hey!" I say as I smack his arm. He turns his head and kisses my cheek before returning to his game. What. What the hell. Why? What purpose did that serve?

"I'm only kidding," Sweet Pea says, "its nice to have you around. It'd be even better if you weren't flirting with me in front of my ex boyfriend.

"Nice to have all of you around," I say, "like a family." I can see Jughead staring at me from the corner of my eye. This making him more pissed than he already was. Great.

   "Lily!" I yell as I walk into the house, "boys suck!"

 "Yeah," She says as she walks into the living room to great me, "I know. But why now?"

"Reggie's starting a civil war at Riverdale High because he's a useless prick, Sweet Pea keeps flirting with me, Jughead is confusing me, and I can't tell who I like!" I whine as I smash into the couch

"Poor child," She says, "2 guys like you. Both are good guys. Darn."

"Fight me," I groan.

"Besides this civil war will be over soon enough."

"I wouldn't be too sure."

"Oh, hey, guys, what's up?" Jughead says. I look up from Toni and see him wearing his jacket. Like a fucking idiot.

"Take it off," Reggie hisses, "Take off that jacket, Rat Boy." Jughead sighs and turns from the vending machine. 

"Oh, Reggie. I don't think you know what this jacket means. Because you have no sense of honor. Or history, - or loyalty," Jughead says.

"That's it," Reggie snaps pulling Jughead towards him. Sweet Pea, Fangs, and I running at the Bull Dogs. Swinging and kicking. Reggie had seemed to forget his, "you're lucky you're a girl speech" seeing as he had no problem swinging at me now.

"Break it up!" Weatherbee yells, "now!" As it dies down I take this as my chance to run up to Reggie. Punching him right in the nose. "Miss L/n! Stop!" Jughead pulls me away from Reggie who in that moment I could of killed. Blood dripping from my mouth and Reggie's nose.

"Fuck you Reggie!" I spit. He holds his nose as he groans in pain.

"Knock it off!" Weatherbee screams, "come with me now!" Jughead drags me along to the principals office. He keeps me by him away from Reggie as the rest sit down. "You all have a week's detention for fighting.... But I made myself clear to you, Mr. Jones. Take off that jacket, right now, or you're suspended."
